The Wayans brothers were known for making extremely long movie titles, such as "Don't Be A Menace (to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood."

This movie had a few other names proposed for it, but by the end it was known as "Scary Movie." Other great names which almost made it were "Scream If You Know What I Did Last Halloween," or my favorite, "Last Summer I Screamed Because Halloween Fell On Friday the 13th"

It's a pretty funny movie, as long as you watch it without high expectations. It's about as serious as Dumb and Dumber, but I think it's funnier than Not Another Teen Movie. Speaking of which, I think the latter was inspired by Scary Movie, and how well it did at the Box Office.

Three warnings. First, there was a lot of frontal male nudity, and gross sex scenes. That didn't stop me from nearly passing out from laughing in the theater from one scene. Second, there are a lot of gay jokes, some offensive. Hey, it's Rated R by the MPAA.

The final warning is simple, Don't Watch Scary Movie 2. The first one was funny, despite its grossness. The second one stopped being funny. Throwing a bucket of feces on the audience would have been better, as the whole audience just stopped laughing, until everyone just said "ewwwww" for the last hour.
